good day all, As the subject says, We are using samba 3 which is configured to talk to AD (windows 2000 servers). I can use wbinfo -u/t/r/g fine. I can also see the shares fine. Now the reason I set this up was to allow the programmers to use cvs and their nt logon passwords. I have done this via cvs + ssh which works fine. we are trying to move to a SSO (single sign on) system. Now every now and then it all stops authenticating users. I am unable to see the domain/users/groups and the cvs users are unable to login and do their stuff. Now when this happens I normally check the server to see if samba is still running, check the logs and other stuff too. When it isnt, I normally restart the samba services and away they go. But the few other times I have done this, I have had to remove the computer account from AD, wait a while and re add it. Some times just resetting the computer account works. Now this is becoming a real problem. I am really unsure where the actually problem is and I believe it to be the windows side of it. Since sometimes when the users cant login to cvs. I can still see the domain and user accounts from the samba server and I am able to login to the server using ssh and my windows logon. Aslo sometimes it just stops, I dont do anything and its working again. Today i thought it might be ssh. But since that is the main method for me to connect to the server, I really dont want to mess with that. Does any one have any ideas or other views on this. Please can u cc me as I am not on the list -- David Richards
